My top five favorite political cartoons for the week…

First, it is beyond me that the mainstream media continues to give Obama a pass for focusing on that dreaded social issue of abortion.
That said, I do marvel at Obama’s boldness in taking on an issue where he is particularly vulnerable, particularly among young people, while positively spinning Planned Parenthood in the process, not only the United States’ largest abortion provider but also coming under increased scrutiny. The ad further portrays Romney incorrectly to say he is pro-life without exceptions. I wish Obama was right on that, but he’s not.
Obama has a lot of nerve. I wish Romney would release an ad attacking Obama on his radical abortion positions, which would shock Americans who don’t yet know he supports partial birth abortion and infanticide.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Any business owners out there who are particularly annoyed at Obama’s “You didn’t build that” statement:
I invite you to submit your story on a little project I helped with: http://IDidBuildIt.com
It’s brand new so we need stories!
(Jill, I hope you don’t mind me soliciting this site on here. If so, just delete my comment and I’m sorry :-) )
I wish Romney would release an ad attacking Obama on his radical abortion positions, which would shock Americans who don’t yet know he supports partial birth abortion and infanticide.
I totally agree. I wish Romney would do this using a survivor of abortion and a person conceived during rape to be his spoke persons for the ad.
They could end the ad saying something like, “President Obama, look me in the face and tell me again why you support abortion.”
Andrew, that’s totally fine… :)
I love pic and cartoons. I am just getting started. We have some things in common take a look at my web-site. I am working on nutrition from my new research. I see you are out to protect the unborn. Never back down keep up the good fight. Take a look at my site. I’m selling nothing just words and my research.
In the early days of the colonies. The people and the businesses built and paid for the road w/o government intervention.
The Obama Record cartoon nails it. The only way he can proceed in this campaign is through a complete avoidance of his record and through dishonest attacks on his rival. As a sociopath Obama is well suited to take that path.
If it were not for the MSM covering for him he would be down by 20 points. We basically need to igore the MSM—they are going to do what they will and there is no sense in wasting our time getting wound up over them. Our task is to take our message one on one to friends and family that we know were fooled by Obama the first time around. Even though many of them have already seen the light there are still some who remain under the spell…these are the ones we need to work extra hard on.
Thankfully Obama is the gift that keeps on giving which makes our job easier, such as when he says incredibly revealing things about how he really feels about things. And his record favoring late term abortions and now suddenly ”evolving” (give me a break!) to support boys ”marrying” boys just goes to show the utter arrogance and contempt with which he regards the average person whom he thinks he can fool with his nonsense.
Hi Jerry,
Recently a video by Dick Morris shored up what I have been saying, that as Obama goes downhill, he will take this country with him. Dick Morris referred to it as Obama’s ”scorched earth policy”. Obama will do anything and everything to devastate this country before he exits.
As I have said, we are not safe until this man is out of office. Dick also expressed concern about the “lame duck” period and what havoc Obama can wreak on this country with no concern for his political future. Obama will be enraged if he loses, and given his personality type, the “lame duck” period can be especially dangerous. Obama’s narcissism will never allow him to gracefully accept defeat, and I promise you Obama will not.
Also, Romney should stop wasting his time and energy demanding an apology from Obama for false accusations. These folks never apologize either, nor do they give a hoot if they lie or defame someone. As you pointed out, Obama’s sociopathic/narcissistic personality
makes him very well suited to take this path. Also, be careful when viewing him as “the gift that keeps on giving”. All I see is a time bomb waiting to go off. Do not for one moment ever underestimate this man.
You should check out the video on Dickmorris.com. I told you that when know the personality type, you know what to expect. Its not some great gift of prophecy on my part.
Pretending one side of the Presidential election has run all the attack ads and ignore the other is simply intellectually sloppy.
All Americans should be crying out for a better campaign. The number of attack ads are up a lot since 2008 – and spending is going to be massively up. Is this the type of election that we want?
Running attack cartoons that tell half of the story is simply jumping in on the side of the problem, not the side of the solution.
“Pretending one side of the Presidential election has run all the attack ads and ignore the other is simply intellectually sloppy.”
Fair enough, but does it bother you that your man is running ads that are blatantly dishonest in regarding Romney’s position on abortion?
“Running attack cartoons that tell half of the story is simply jumping in on the side of the problem, not the side of the solution.”
Ex-RINO says: June 10, 2012 at 11:08 pm “For the record, I have three kids, my wife and I would never ever have considered an abortion, and I’m against it as I equate it to murder.”
Ex-RINO says: June 11, 2012 at 7:56 am “…at the end of the day, I’m more likely than not to vote Democrat…”
JDC -
I don’t know if it is blatantly – unless there’s more than the one issue (that he isn’t fully pro-life, but has exceptions built in). Is there more?
But yes, I actually wish that we could have an independent board assess the truthfulness of all political ads and assess taxes based on how truthful they are. Unfortunately, free speech doesn’t mean you have to be truthful.
But yes – it bothers me that Obama’s side played with the truth – and it bothers me that most political messages do the same.
Yep, that’s the Obamanation defense to everything: “Sure our guy is corrupt. Isn’t everyone?!”
Mary I agree with the comments you related from Dick Morris stating the BHO will use a “scorched earth policy” during the lame duck if he losing this election. He has already set this up by coming after Catholics and evangelicals who are pro-life with the religious conscience issue and with the “I have evolved to supporting same-sex marriage” announcement. You need to remember what he said before his election “good people can disagree on these issues and not be disagreeable”, but now he has declared war on the institutions who support the sanctity of life and sanctity of marriage. Do not underestimate him or his radical agenda for “transforming America”.
Those who are Christ followers pray that God will spare this country from the destruction and wrath to come and that the eyes of the nation will be opened to see the truth about who is in the WH. My heart breaks for our children and their children. Psalms 11:2 “For lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. vs. 3. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? With BHO working to destroy the foundational principles of protecting human life, faith, and family our nation will be destroyed. The inner cities and even the suburbs are already overrun with chaos, the result of faithless and fatherless children. There is no amount of money and government programs that you can throw at these problems that will solve them because they are actually spriritual problems. Someone once said “It is like putting a bandaid on a cancer”.
Hi PLL,
Its always good to see you here. The real issue here, from my perspective, is that good people compromised and sold their souls. Put simply, they were had. They were victimized but they set themselves up to be victims, which is what happens when you trust an SPD/NPD, and seriously compromise with what you know to be right. Let’s not forget evangelical pastor Rick Warren and the Catholics who supported Obama, oblivious to his abortion stand. Obama manipulated them, got what he wanted, then turned against them. However, they set themselves up for this. I’m not unsympathetic, just realistic. Look what Rev.Wright got for his years of friendship, ministry, and loyalty. He was relegated to being the befuddled old uncle that embarasses everyone. Whatever you think of Rev.Wright, that was pretty crappy payback.
I can only say PLL let it be a lesson learned. Its one I’ve learned the hard way time and again in my life, that’s why I knew exactly what would happen, and it did. Now the entire country will now pay the price. Obama is ready to compromise our national defense and is destroying our economy. This man is only getting warmed up.
EX-GOP, that is the worst and one of the most frightening ideas I have ever heard. It sounds nice, but think about it for a second. A supposedly “independent” board of people with the power to watch and penalize free speech can be trusted? What about the first amendment? Who watches the watchers when the independent board turns out to be not so independent? What makes you think this independent board (how will they be elected or seated on it) will achieve what the Supreme Court never could? It’s the voters’ responsibility to stop living with their heads in the sands, and your proposal would just allow them to be even more apathetic and lazy and let someone else do their thinking for them. Negative ads work because of the voters, not the candidates.
Chris -
“Most frightening ideas” – come on – so you’d rather have a world where it is legally permissible to spend millions of dollars, without having to account for yourself, to lie on national television – and that is less frightening than trying to monitor and regulate it?
What I proposed would be struck down multiple ways – first, we’ve decided that people can lie, even about getting military medals – and we say that free speech can lie – so I’m not saying it is something that even could be advanced.
I just get disturbed of our further dumbing down of America. The biggest entitlement issue in America is our belief that we are entitled to continuing to be stupid about the things that affect us most. It disturbs me some days how little voters know…
Hi Chris,
Great point. Also, who determines a “negative” ad? One person’s “negative ad” may be another person’s truth. Certainly seems like the thought police at work here.
Mary – I left points for Chris – but I didn’t say “negative” ads – I said based on the truthfulness of them.
EGV,
However you want to word it. Again, from who’s perspective will these decisions be made? Who are the independent thinkers and who decides who they are?
I agree on how little people know, but it is our responsiblity to better inform ourselves. Unfortunately there will always be those willing to be led around by the nose.
Mary – agreed – there is no good way to police it.
I’m simply ranting of our current political situation – where both sides tell half truths and 98% of voters don’t take the time to figure out for themselves what the real truth is. And the news media is the least interested party in any sort of change, as they benefit the most from all the advertising.
Hi EGV,
Point taken. And a good one.
“I don’t know if it is blatantly – unless there’s more than the one issue (that he isn’t fully pro-life, but has exceptions built in). Is there more?”
I don’t think there’s more to it, but I think misleading voters on the issue of exceptions is a pretty big deal in the dishonesty department. After all, Romney has been pretty clear about what exceptions he supports in his verbal statements and written pledge. I will admit that he didn’t answer that one question in that one debate very well, but I sense that the reason is for that is that he thought the substantive part of the question was whether it was a federal or state issue, not the lack of exceptions. I’m sure the ad was attacking him for the supposed lack of exceptions given that wanting to ban abortion in general is not a shocking or damaging position for a Republican candidate to hold. In short, I would call the ad blatantly dishonest although Romney’s supposed lack of exceptions was the only issue with it.
Mary:
Thanks for the info on Morris. So true. You were one of the first to alert us to the imposter’s sociopathy. He will stop at NOTHING (I believe even war if necessary) to try to hold on to the presidency.
Jerry
JDC -
And quite frankly, any statement about Romney and abortion will conflict with something he’s said – I don’t think there is an abortion position he hasn’t had at some point in his life.
I appreciate that it disturbs you, in many ways I agree, but I think you need to think hard about the unintended consequences before you suggest such a plan again, even in moments of frustration. I would too prefer all advertising and commentary to be truthful and accurate, but not at the expense of an inquisition abridging one of our most protected freedoms.
Hi Mary. I totally agree that many people even Christians drank the kool-aid. I pray that they don’t drink it again, it is laced with poison and deadly, especially for the unborn, those who believe in religious liberty and those who insist on taking a stand for Biblical values. ‘Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”. I hope people know this administration is only warming up for what is to come in terms of dirty tricks before this election and even after it whether they win or lose. The “race card” will be played with Chicago-style thug politics perfection and they will paint every person who doesn’t vote for BHO as a racist, bigot before this is over, even African-Americans like Allen West. I don’t think Col. West will lie down and be rolled over though, he is a true fighter, warrior and a no B.S American hero who will not take down. Look for them to try to embarrass and discount him if they can find anyway to do it, if he seems to pose a threat. Xalisae recommended him for V.P but now that I think about it Allen West for president. Hmmm, not possible for 2012 but….
Hi Jerry,
Thank you for the kind words. I hope you will check out the video.
Its like when a man or woman finally decides to get out of an abusive relationship with a narcissist, We may cheer and think its about time, great. They should have done it long ago. Well….maybe not. This is when the stalking, terror, and danger really begins. The “if I can’t have you no one can” mentality. This is the personality type in the WH now Jerry, and he’s making me very nervous. Losing the election may only be the beginning of the worst to come.
Hi PLL,
Yes Christians in general and Catholics in particular drank the kool-aid. I understand that the nun, Sr.Keegan(?) who was such a supporter of Obamacare finally realized how she got schnookered on this contraceptive mandate. Hopefully this will influence their votes.
Personally, to hear Christian people, including a nun, speak of Obama as some sort of Messiah is unnerving. Isn’t this blasphemy?
You’re absolutely right that Obama will only get dirtier the more desperate he gets. He will also get more dangerous.
I also greatly admire Allen West. I would like to see Marco Rubio though as VP.
@Andrew, along the lines of “I Did Built It” – Check this out from Bristol Palin’s blog:

Mary, we will continue to pray for our nation and that most pro-abortion president to hold the office will be kicked out of the WH in November.
It disturbs me some days how little voters know…
